OP: "This is not a replication thread. If you want replication wait a week for the chinese material science people with XRD and everything. I am doing a vastly different thing here"

Yeah I'm not sure what this is but I'll take the author's word that this is not a replication

I dunno what to make of this. No video, the thread is hard to read, the poster is a little irreverent. And shouldn't they send it off to a lab?

But even extreme diamagnetism in these quick samples would be eyebrow raising.

False positives and false negatives will occur. This is to be fully expected and happens every time with major discoveries (and non-discoveries). It'll take time for the picture to emerge.

Think of it as global illumination raycasting engine throwing rays on the scene and a very noisy image emerging. Almost like TV static. We need more rays.
